Sugar: The poor performance continues

Indicator
Perhaps the single most revealing performance indicator of the state of Guyana’s sugar industry is to be found in its annual production figures. For this purpose, I have updated a table that I had previously used in columns dealing with sugar and offer it below in the form of a long-term series of Guyana’s annual sugar output covering five decades, from 1961 to 2011. To make the table concise, I present the data on the basis of 3-year averages.
